Does your business struggle to secure suitably skilled and experienced workers locally? Business Sponsorship Visas to Perth or anywhere in Australia can allow a business to temporarily or permanently bring an overseas worker to the country to fill a skilled role. If you’re interested in employer-sponsored visas and whether your business can sponsor a skilled worker to come to Australia and work for you, here’s a summary of what the process of becoming a visa sponsor involves.
Visa sponsorship refers to the process of sponsoring a migrant’s application for a skilled visa to work for your business. There are three parts to the employer sponsored visa application process – Sponsorship, Nomination and a Visa.
A sponsorship application is a request by a business to become an approved visa sponsor. There are two main forms of visa sponsorship – Standard Business Sponsorship and Accredited Sponsorship. Standard Business Sponsorship provides a five-year period to sponsor workers. Eligible businesses can upgrade their status to Accredited Sponsorship, which provides access to priority visa processing by the Government.
Once a business becomes an approved visa sponsor, they can proceed with the nomination and visa application stages of the process. A nomination application involves an assessment of the position and terms of employment, whereas the visa application is an assessment of a person’s skills and experience.
Other forms of sponsorship include Labour Agreements and Designated Area Migration Agreements. Substantial evidence is required to support a valid sponsorship, nomination and visa application. You can read about different visa sponsorship arrangements below to find out more about becoming a visa sponsor.
All legally established and operating businesses may apply to become a visa sponsor, however there are several requirements, obligations and conditions to be aware of depending on the sponsorship arrangement and type of employer sponsored visa required. You can have a read about the different types of employer sponsored visas available for a temporary or permanent stay for work in Australia.
